There is one clinical trial.
As of May 30th more than 23,000 cases of COVID -19 cases were confirmed in Egypt with total deaths of 913. Post viral entry, intense immune response against the virus with infiltration of monocytes and macrophages into alveolar cells with decreasing number of lymphocytes in peripheral blood along with reduced lymphocytes in lymphoid organs, hypercoagulability, thrombosis and multiple organ damage, The gut microbiota and immune homeostasis seem to have a back and forth relationship. Also, gut microbiota derived signals are known to tune the immune cells for pro and anti-inflammatory responses thereby affecting the susceptibility to various diseases. Healthy gut microbiome essentially could be pivotal in maintaining an optimal immune system to prevent an array of excessive immune reactions that eventually become detrimental to lungs and vital organ systems. Numerous studies have shown that the patient's nutritional status have a significant effect on an individual's immunity and over all health status and it has been suggested that nutritional deficiencies may predispose to severe forms of COVID-19 infections. Co-existing non-communicable chronic diseases (NCDs) in COVID-19 patients have been found to delay patients recovery and worsen their prognosis, the reason may be due to aggravated inflammatory pathology found in NCDs exacerbating COVID-19 infection. The aim of the study is to evaluate the role dietary habits among COVID-19 Egyptian patients and whether type of diet (Mediterranean or Western) will affect disease outcomes
Description: To assess the relation between type of diet in mild to moderate COVID 19, to the fate of their course; either improvement or progression
Measure: Western versus Mediterranean diet in COVID-19 outcome Time: 2 monthsDescription: To asses any possible links between gut microbiome and the lung affecting clinical presentation of mild to moderate COVID cases; as diarrhea, loss of taste or smell
Measure: Gut- Lung axis in COVID-19 Time: 2 monthsDescription: Possible protective effects of minerals and vitamins against COVID-19 respiratory illness
Measure: Protective role of minerals and vitamins in COVID-19 patients Time: 2 monthsDescription: Trying to explain the link between non-communicable disease severity and COVID-19 prognosis
Measure: non-communicable diseases and COVID-19 Time: 2 months
